The 18 Most Offensive Things People Say To Redheads

18. “Fire crotch!”

Why it’s offensive: Let’s assume that you didn’t just say the word “crotch” and that I will not crawl into a dark corner so I can die of humiliation. If that’s the case, then this isn’t offensive at all! Well done.

How to rephrase: “Fire socks!” or “Fire water!” or “Fire-eater!” or pretty much anything without the word “crotch” in it.

15. “I’ve never slept with a redhead before.”

Why it’s offensive: I’ve never slept with all the lights on before, what’s your point?

Just because we have red hair, it doesn’t make us an item to check off of your list of things to bone. You probably wouldn’t say, “I’ve never had sex with an Asian before,” to an Asian person, right? So, what makes it OK to say this to us? Nothing, the answer is nothing.

How to rephrase: Use a normal pick-up line like a normal human being. For example, give “Can I buy you a drink?” a go.
